For plants to thrive, they require a magic formula: water plus sunlight plus air plus fertilizer. But fertilizers—substances that make soil more fertile—are essential to plant health because not all soils are equally nutritious. In short: Fertilizer is plant food. All plants need fertilization.

Corn growers often apply nitrogen later in the season to gain more control of the crop. At the V10 or V11 development stage, growers typically have a better understanding of how the crop is developing, its yield potential, the growing environment and what the market is willing to pay. There’s also logistics to consider —.
